For you guys in the comments, we personally found that the A-10 handled incredibly well with Du-Bro 2.5" low bounce treaded main wheels and a 2" nosewheel of the same make and type. Gets rid of all that rattling the plastic wheels do and adds even more suspension to the gear. They aren't as great for grass without the wheel upgrade since the main struts are stiffer than they seem. But overall this jet is phenomenal, and Brian here flies it like a pro even if it's only his fourth or fifth flight with it. ;)
Also, we covered the nav light flashing. You can unscrew the wing plugs and remove the resistor that's in-line with the LED wires via a servo plug embedded in the wing. Takes about 5 minutes to fix and looks way better after it's removed.
I put in an 8 channel receiver in my Eflite A-10 and mixed in some spoilers after watching some of your videos! Landing approaches are so much smoother now!
@@MWall711 Happy to hear it! Crow isn't needed, but it certainly improves the landing characteristics if you're after a higher throttle landing. A-10s can be fickle to land, and a lot of it comes down to a good center of gravity. They're surprisingly OK with being flown with the CG right over the main wheels, but a CM in front of them isn't bad either.
We got your point. Like 3 times. lol @bentleyhecht6263
Bentley, what was that ????
So your tire upgrade not recommended for grass-field operation?
Love it when Jack Black sells me a plane.
Brian/Megan, Can't hardly wait to see your dream come true with the pond and hangar. You folks are great for the hobby and I wish you the best. 😉
Thanks Brad! We always appreciate you!
@@BrianPhillipsRC ❤️
This is my favorite plane that you assembled and fly… just love the A-10 … someday… thanks again for your great 👍🏻 videos… 😎… Pat
You guys are awsome best well rounded channel out there . No one else does what you guys do and those apprentice videos 5 years ago are what got me into the hobby 🤗
Thank you! We're so glad you're here with us.
If I didn’t have a hangar full of edf’s already. This one would be a great choice. As always great job Brian and camera crew. Looking forward to your informative ideas. Keep up the great job moving us forward in our passions. Stay warm
But is your hangar really full if you don't have THIS?!? Especially if it's on SALE...
bprc.me/FMS_A10
Always love an A-10. I have the Eflite A-10 and put in an 8 channel receiver so that it could have spoilers, too. Really helped with the landing approach. Fun planes!
Nice. The would be a plus in our tight landing zone.
I have two of these fab A10s. One in use and one for later.
The only things that have gone wrong are the XT90 connector melted so was replaced with EC5. And the front gear mounting is a bit weak so it popped out after a heavy landing. This has been reinforced and is now very robust.
Thanks for the video, I'm amazed you can land the A10 on your short strip !
Thanks, and yeah, GREAT plane. She's a handfull to put down on a short runway, but she'll do grass ops fine here. As for the nose gear...I bet this A-10 (and EVERY A-10) could use a nose job after a few rough or unscheduled landings ;)
Some day, when I grow up, I want to split out the ESC's and run separate packs to help make my TWINS be nicer to my lipos. Ever think about doing this?
Well.i guess you have to be the chosen one to get any help on here
Thanks Brian and Megan for another flight and that great knowledge. And yes, there is a handful of us that have been on Brians channel from the beginning, and we are more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Getting started in this hobby isn't just exciting but it's a Tade bit addicting and with some good equipment and knowledge you will go far. After 30yrs I no just enough to get in trouble. lol ☺. Happy flying hope to see you at the field.
We're glad you're here with us and can chime in to help the new people get in trouble too! ;)
All ways happy to help. Been under the weather for awhile so I think your a couple videos ahead of me so I will check in on them and find out if anyone needs a hand.. Thanks guys
I think I need to pick one of these up ASAP. Along with the P-51 red tail. I added the freewing Al 37 airliner so I need to add another military plane, and as always great video
This plane is super cool - I hope you get one for sure!
Wish MotionRC would work with us, since I HAVE now flown the AL37, but it needed a stabilizer to fly the way I wanted it to fly, and I would love to see how dialed in I could get it.
FYI, and I know it might not make much sense if you're stateside (like us) but here's a company that DOES work with us on Freewing products ;) bprc.me/TurbinesRC - Would you consider doing me a favor and see how horrific the shipping would be if you order it there?
@@BrianPhillipsRC I need to find something to make it stable myself. I'm not taking any chances. And I'm definitely getting this one using your link as soon as I can
I don’t fly anything but dangit I enjoy this channel so much!!!
get you a rtf aero scout. or a rage rc plane. you’ll love the hobby. i started with both and now i’m flying level 2 and 3 planes
Well said @@James-js6dx
We're glad you here with us! What are you waiting for?!? :)
Love the Ying Yang Twinz whispering!! Sounds amazing! Nice camera pans..”ITZ GOT JUUUUICE!!”
Freewing or FMS? I’m three weeks out from pulling the trigger on one..
Appreciate you guys, great info and flying. Stay safe and warm, it's crazy cold in NC right now.
We're looking forward to warmer weather too!
Love my FMS A-10. Sweet, sweet flying plane and looks so damn good in the air.
It is a looker for sure!
Really liking this one, nice flying, winters in the Midwest is a no go for me 😂 I lived in Omaha for 7 years. Afterwards I moved to the deserts of Vegas to get away from snow. Now living in Florida. 😊 I think we fly more than you 😉
I'm sure you do! We're not really sure why we live here either ;)
Of the Eflite/HH, the front gear is susceptible of breakage.
Interesting. I didn't have that problem (with the 1.1m Eflite version - bprc.me/A10 ), but I guess maybe others did?
Brian what is going on at Horizon? It seems like they have no airplanes or much of anything I’m interested in any more.
Love your channel. Both of you are awesome people, and have inspired me to fly. Ive never flown before, im 48. I have had nitro trucks in the past, but never a plane. This spring im buying either the sport cub, or that plane that has the prop behind the cabin???. Has a rounded nose. Now, i love gas engines, i been riding motorcycles all my life, but the draco is a damn amazing plane. I seen Mike pateys channel and the crash he had, and when horizon revealed the model to him, that brought tears. If the made the draco have a gas engine, that would be totally awesome. I can't wait for spring!...i just looke on horizon its called the aeroscout s. Awesome plane. 2 batteries, charger, controller, reciever and servos installed, and plane, 230$....is there a better deal than that?
Hey Michael sounds like you're heading in the right direction. That Aero scout will be a good starter plane. If you look thru Brians Video files you will find some great videos to get yourself familiar with this unit. Yes, That Draco unit is truly assume get plane to work up to just don't get it to fast and make it a 1 and done as Brian says. Take care hope to see you at the flight field.
@highdesertmisfitsrcclub2846 .....thanks for the response man, appreciate that. I've seen the aeroscout on Brian's channel already, just wasn't crazy about the design. I've been thinking about it tho and that's a really good deal with 2 batteries, plus the charger and the plane is pretty big too.
We'll be the first to admit... the AeroScout isn't going to win any beauty contests, but she's good at what she does. If you want to get into the air with minimal effort, that's a great place to start.
bprc.me/AeroScout
Or... if you want to good trainers that's got just a bit more going on in the looks department, check out the Apprentice STOL. If you get it in a RTF (ready to fly) configuration, you'll have everything you need too.
bprc.me/Apprentice
3:04 WoooHooo that was so close it made my butt pucker a bit, lol I know Brian was clinching hard enough to crack a walnut 😂
It was a little close ;)
I am glad you can fly RC planes in line of sight. I can't LoS for nothing. If I get this plane, I will install an FPV gear on it.
Brian if you love this one, you’ll definitely love the Freewing A-10 twin 80mm. It’s just amazing
Wish the Freewing twin 80 wasn't just flat grey, that arctic camo looks so much better...
Brian Phillips you crazy IOWAN! that sounds like you're from Chicago don't you think ? ha love your enthusiasm honesty and expertise so cool keep it up .. yeah later dude
Thanks! Glad to have you here with us!
Love your vidoes!
Thanks James!
The camo is so good black and white
Amazing skills
I want more videos of these i love it
Glad you enjoyed it!
It is the correct set however I don’t know if it comes with the part that the gray wheel holder slides into if you know what I mean because I tried to take the broken version of it out and I did however it’s covered with dry glue and at this point I think I should get a new one
Hi there, i hope you good. Thx for the tes mt and the prevent for the first try advice.
Do you think its possible to put the batterie a little in the middle of the plane to balance it more?
Where there's a will, there's a way, but I have to say - A-10's are not always easy to do things like that with, due to the thickness of the body, compared to the packs used to fly them. I's love to see DUAL pack setup for TWIN's, since they do tend to be battery chewers...but this one seems to be okay in that regard. The Arrows F15 is one that comes to mind as an EXTREME battery eater.
@@BrianPhillipsRC thank's for you're answer and you're happiness in vidéos ☺️
It was -9f here this morning in northern Indiana with a wind chill of, well it just don't really matter at this point lol.
Right?!? We sitting at -5 with a windchill of -22, and it's almost noon.
That A-10 looks awesome got to have it!
You should get one! They might be one sale... just sayin'
bprc.me/FMS_A10
Hi Brian, I really need some advice. Do you think the Nx 6 is enough for an intermediate pilot that mostly flies small jets and racers like the v900? Thank you in advance and great video as always ^^
Try a used dx8. Cheap and good. Or go the frsky route.
Hi Brian i recently broke my wheel on my new e flight f 14 and what I need to find is not the nose wheel that comes with it’s connection but the part that it is supposed to slide in that is seen when you face the plane backside up and you see the big circle surrounding the smaller one and wondering if you could maybe send me a link to one or try and find me the name of it
You're talking about the UMX Style nose gear.
Here's the link to the replacement part (KIT). I think, and hope it's it...

Please let me know if this DOESN'T look right.
How old is this video? It was -5 F when I drove into work this morning 😊
We got this one in JUST before the week of blizzards... looks like we'll be ABOVE 0 tomorrow. That will be the first time in 5 days?!?
What a beast. 🔥
Sure is!
Looks awesome! I bought the Fms 1300mm pa-18 plug and play can you tell me a good transmitter for a beginner, thanks!
Even for a beginner, we recommend starting with no less than an NX7e or NX8. If you know you're hooked already, just jump straight to the NX10.
Lots of people start out with an NX6 or even a DX6e to save some money, but usually end up outgrowing that transmitter fairly quickly and upgrade to an NX8 or NX10 anyway. If you can, save yourself the middle step and just get what you need/want.
You can compare all of the different transmitters that Spektrum offers here...

Very cool plane!!!!!
Thanks! We think so too!
Does it have reverse thrust? Great video
No
Not the way ours was configured, but sometimes FMS will surprise you. ;)
Can you do a video on the flex innovations yak 55 qq very cool plane and the most important it has soft tires
I have this plane and it is a nice flyer. However, my complaint is that the flight times are low because it eats batteries due to running two EDF motors. I've used and have SMC 6200s, HRBs and Zee batteries. After 2:30, in my experience you need to land or the batteries will get hot and only have about 15% left. Basically, you have right around 3 minutes total before really running the batteries low and getting them hot. This is just my experience and maybe yours is or will be different.
I disagree. I use SMC 6200s and get 5 min flights. No excessive battery heat.
@@jeffbrundt7740 I'd love to get that flight time but how in the world do you get 5 minutes of flight time running two 70 millimeter EDF motors? That is terrific.
This EDF/Jet is Freakin Awesome!!! Brian, I tried to fit in 2 Avian ESC's, but there is not enough room to fit them in where the already installed ESC's from FMS, they are Extremely slim style/size compared to the Avians. So until they slim down and lighten the weight of the 80Amp-100Amp Avians that's not an option. Boring out the area would not be a good idea, it would probably lose structural integrity for the weight of the twin motors. If they do like they did with the latest version Eflite twin 64mm A-10 and did a single esc with dual motor outputs???. Just think of having thrust reverse Though???
Get a freewing 100A esc. They have thrust rev and they are the same compact size as the Predator ones in your A10.
@markmcc21 Ok, but do they have Smart Battery Telemetry built into them? Kinda going for all Spektrum Technologies in my planes and jets/edf's. I'm still trying to figure out how get everything working in my FMS F7F TigerCat 1700mm. Which I have 2 Avian 60Amps installed. It flies wonderfully with them installed. Might even have more vertical/ups, even though I think they are lower in Amps than stock ESC's?? Better power delivery??
@scottfinney4356 they don't. If you want the telemetry then try the Avian 70A lite. I doubt this dual set up pulls more than 70A each sharing the same battery. On the FMS Viper 70 it pulls about 72A and that's being supplied with a lipo all to itself. Other option is having the 80A freewing esc and using an AR637T and fit the supplied Voltage telemetry cable so you have V on your TX screen.
Not even leaves tossing wind.
I once flew a turbine A-10 of a club member. Well I don’t have a good experience with that! Only thing that plane was good at are inverted high alphas 😂
Yes!!!
You're welcome!
Oh, Mrs Phillips! Can Brian come out to play?
Sure! If you can pick him up, I'll pack his overnight bag.
~Megan ;)
Can a volantex f4u unboxing
Dude you gotta get off the energy drinks lol
No energy drinks necessary ;)
dude why does mine feel so wanky like i just want to add more power to it 6s 5000 120c..... my 64mm all the power in the world???6s4000 100c
Please don't whisper you sound like worst president in history. It's all I can think of when you whisper.
Couldn't agree more!
Thats his intention. U not heard him evertime be picks up a tube of cheap China glue?
Yeah he def sounds like that criminal...
